Welcome back Josh Anderson...
Who's done what, when, and how is no longer relevant. We just need to win. Fluke performances, luck, or clutch-ness is exactly what we have to have tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday. This really might be the last meaningful game of the season, let's drink it in. I hate the Braves -- just needed to throw that out there.

Meanwhile, Edmonds hits a bomb himself
And right now, everything is going in the right direction.
1-0 Cubs over Brewers (2nd)
2-0 Marlins over Mets (5th)
2-0 Astros over Braves (2nd)
All slim leads though.

thats not how you spell it, but thats my guess

id consider him
overrated. not a curse. but his “handling of the pitching staff” wasn’t enough for me. or to balance his terrible offense. adam everett may have played good enough defense to make up for his bat, im not sure if ausmus did.

"Curse" was hyperbole
But his terrible hitting has far outweighed his defensive value. As HLP says, Everett made up more than enough with the glove to balance out his value.
And Biggio, Bagwell, and Oswalt might like the guy, and they even might think that he’s a good player. But the fact is that all statistical research on catchers’ pitcher-handling abilities show inconclusive results.
Really, Meluskey would have been a good offensive catcher. He was sidelined by injuries when the Tigers put him back in the minors, but you never know what would have happened. And he might even have matured as he aged.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m going to miss Ausmus. He’s a cool guy and a smart guy and a good defensive catcher. I just don’t think he was that great of an all-around player, and I think Hunsicker really screwed up with Meluskey.
I like Ausmus
I’m a believer a team must have a good defensive catcher, shortstop and center fielder to win. Ausmus was one of the best defensively both in his catching and his relationship with pitchers.

Big weekend for me, sports-wise
Two teams in fantasy H2H finals and the Astros clinging on to hope in October. Let’s hope the Cubbies can do something here.

should be a throwing error on Tejada
and then Valverde gets a second out on a weird tag of the runner at 1st who headed too much toward 2d base. Home plate ump overruled 1st base ump on the second out.
Braves have men on the corners

And that may put the astros out of their misery tonight.
